drive

drive is a skill for Claude Code from juxt/claude-plugins. It costs 166 tokens per session (1,691 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A development workflow for taking one tracked task from early investigation to a committed and tested code change ready for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to claim a task, work on an isolated branch and worktree, implement the behaviour, run tests, and create a commit ready to merge.
Why use it?
It keeps a task small, follows the project's coding standards, and reduces the risk of landing unreviewable or incomplete work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

drive scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

a-star Drive

Interpret MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, MAY, etc. per RFC 2119.

Success: a small change, ready to merge, that the user can review from its diff and message alone — and, once it lands, page that part of the card out of their head.

A dart takes the straight line to the goal; a drive takes the road. The walls the dart ignored — the project's coding standards, its tests, its definition of done, its code review — are what a drive navigates.

Load a-star:a-star first.

Modes

Every drive is a tidy or an advance, decided before it starts, and the two never share a commit.

  • Tidy — changes structure, never behaviour. Success: an equivalence change that gives us options, reviewable by asking only could this change anything? A change that could change anything isn't a tidy.

  • Advance — changes behaviour, moving the base a step towards the goal. A structure change turning up mid-advance is a tidy, never part of this commit: decide now, later or never, and if now, it interrupts the advance.

In either mode

  • One ready sub-goal, small enough for a reviewer to hold in their head; one too big is two — record both before starting.
  • What the darts found is evidence, never code to edit into shape.
  • Write it to the project's coding standards.
  • Obviously no bugs, not no obvious bugs — Hoare's distinction. The test: a human reviewing the change in isolation can see it has none — for a tidy, this is its success criterion. Where they can, they confirm it and page it out, which takes far more off their mind than any review that leaves them unsure they've looked hard enough. A change that fails the test wants a tidy under it first, or is two sub-goals.
  • Simple, not easy — Rich Hickey's Simple Made Easy. Un-braid concerns rather than reach for what's nearest to hand; state that can be derived, or can drift from what it mirrors, shouldn't exist. The test: a human reviewing the change in isolation can see each concern on its own, confirming one without holding the rest of the change in their head.
  • No generality the sub-goal didn't ask for.
  • No dead code. Everything the commit adds has a caller outside the tests in this commit; a new abstraction nothing yet calls lands with the first change that calls it. A tidy reshapes code that already runs.
  • The suite stays green. A test weakened or disabled to get past it is a broken invariant: report it, don't commit it.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

drive is a skill published in the GitHub repository juxt/claude-plugins (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 166 tokens to every session and 1,691 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-04.
